Description
What a great TUBBY "TAB" SMITH blues/jazz 78. On the SOUTHERN Record label. The record # is: IN 74 and features the song "Morning Blues" on Side a.) and on Side b.) is: "Jumpin' At The Track". The record is in nice condition. I would grade this at E- Condition (visually & play graded). There are very light surface scratches... but a great play. It still maintains a partial gloss finish. The labels are in nice condition, with no writing, stickers or heavy wear. There are no edge chips. I have just made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums! They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.
Talmadge (Tab) Smith (January 11, 1909–August 17, 1971), was an American swing and rhythm and blues alto saxophonist. In the 1930s and 1940s he spent several years in the bands of Lucky Millinder and Count Basie, as well as spending long periods freelancing both as a player and as an arranger. After the Second World War he led his own groups, which concentrated on rhythm and blues as jazz turned from swing to bop. His biggest R & B hit was "Because of You," which reached number 1 on the R & B charts, and number 20 on the pop charts, in 1951. Smith retired from the music business in the early 1960s and turned to selling real estate.
It's time to for this old collector to empty the vaults if you will!! I Am Selling Most Of My Sealed and Autographed Albums. Most Are From My Very Own Personal Collection Which I Have Saved and Stored Very Carefully For A Long Time. So Check Back Often As I Will Be Selling Most Of My 70's & 80"s Autographs In The Coming Months. It's All Going!
What A Great Addition To Any 78 Collection.
